~Xyana~

Nobody came to my room again after Alpha Zegulf left. Within that brief moment of being alone, I checked for the possibility of escaping the room, and as I'd suspected, it was nil.

The windows are barricaded with protective bars, the door was locked from outside and even the bathroom window was barricaded.

I'm so confused and speechless. Juno's absence makes it worse. Why in the goddess's name can't I feel her? What's wrong?

I'm still battling internally when a knock comes on the door and a few seconds later, Alpha Zegulf pushes the door open. His presence makes me feel unsettled.

I quickly adjust and sink into the bed more. He waves his hands, shaking his head. "Don't do that, Xyana. I would never hurt you." He tells me. "Don't run away from me."

I simply stare blankly at him while still squeezing my frame away from him. He brings a tablet forward. "Can I sit?" He asks, pointing to the space on the bed.

I shrug, "this is your house."

    ~Xyana~"That doesn't make sense." I refused to accept that the video I just watched was real. "Is that video doctored, Alpha Zegulf?" The man's right eyebrow shot up. Then his mouth curved in a smile. "Your defence is that the video was probably doctored?" He asks, pinning me with his gaze."So what do you want me to believe? You suddenly found a hidden camera, and luckily, the camera caught everything that happened. Are you kidding me?"Alpha Zegulf shakes his head, "you look so cute when you try to make your point known.""You've not answered any of my questions yet." I remind him, and he takes a deep calming breath before he replies in his usual jovial tone."The video is not doctored, Firefly. And it didn't miraculously fly into my hands. I sought for it. I needed the proof too."I slide him a cautious glare and he reciprocates with a sweet smile. "So what are you trying to prove with all of this then? That Gideon wanted to have me killed?"

    ~Declan~It's been three days, yet we haven't made any headway. All the attempts we've made to get information on Xyana's whereabouts have been futile.Even the informants we sent out to gather information from the Crimson pack came back with absolutely nothing. Rhen was clueless as well. Even with Gaston's help, both of them are still no match for Kadila who is by far the cruelest witch I've ever had a personal encounter with.The fact that Kadila played a major role in the death of my parents still leaves a sour taste in my mouth, and I want so hard to rip her apart. But even I know that I can't do that so easily when she is everything diabolical.Maybe if Gaston had embraced his gift of wizardry earlier and not pushed it away only to use it when he deemed fit which is rarely by the way. Maybe, just maybe, he would have gained more power over time.Being from a rare bloodline of witches is a good thing. But practicing continuously would have helped hi

    ~Xyana~Days rolled by. I had access to the television where I kept checking all the news channels. Nothing about my disappearance was being mentioned and none of my mates came for me.Maybe I should wonder why they would come for me when it's obvious they don't know where I'm being held currently.But I'm out here without my phone, and I'm unable to reach out to any of them. All I have access to is the television, where I keep skimming through channels every day in the hope that I'll see something that could convince me that my mates are out there, looking for me.But there's nothing. By the third day, I'd already given up. Maybe they've all moved on without me. Maybe I think too highly of myself.Is it possible that they don't want me as their mate? Even if others don't, what about my Dion? Surely he will want me as much as I want him.I'm still in deep thought when a hand touches my arm so gently."Hi," I greeted Zegulf with a sad smile. "Bea

    ~Xyana~ 'PIG, FAT, and UGLY' have become names I'm now accustomed to. I used to think myself beautiful until recently. All thanks to our Alpha's rumored mate, Oksana. Ever since she started deriving pleasure in dehumanizing and abusing me because she thinks I'm too fat for her liking, my life got enveloped in an endless stream of never-ending chores. She'll call me 'Pig' over and over again and I'll always answer her with a 'yes ma'am.' She makes sure I don't get to enjoy a moment of rest during the day. I work at the farms, at the pack daycare, the kitchen, I scrub the floors; I literally do everything. Yet she's never satisfied. ** Today, Mrs. Sal, the pack's Matron, assigned my best friend, Jiya, and me to clean the Alpha's living room. She must have taken pity on me and decided to give me an easy task that I'd spend most of my day doing. As Jiya and I focus on our assigned task for the day. I suddenly feel the hairs on my neck prickle. A dull pull follows, drawing

    ~Xyana~ I stumble behind Gamma Reeder, shame oozing through me with every step. My mind is still reeling from Alpha Kedar’s words, the disgust in his voice, the name-calling, and the humiliation that burns deeper than the wounds Oksana physically inflicted on me. My wolf "Juno," whimpers in my head, confused and heartbroken. 'He's ours,' she repeats weakly, but I can feel her spirit gradually dying down as if she too is beginning to accept the harsh reality. The pack members whisper as I pass, their eyes filled with cruel amusement. I catch glimpses of mocking smirks, and knowing looks exchanged between them. They revel in my humiliation, every single one of them. "Pathetic," someone scoffs. "How can this fat thing try to fight a real wolf?" Another voice says. "She attacked our soon-to-be Luna." I hear someone else accuse me from the crowd. I clench my teeth, swallowing the lump in my throat. I will not cry in front of them. I refuse to give them that satisfaction. We f

    ~Gaston~The pain I'm feeling is excruciating; my head is spinning uncontrollably as my chauffeur, Killian, keeps driving farther away from the source of my pain."Pull over," I tell Killian.The car hitches to a stop almost immediately and he stares at me through the rearview mirror, his face lined with worry.I groan into my palms painfully as my veins go through bouts of painful constrictions. "What can I do, Alpha?" Killian asks."Turn the car around," I tell him, "and drive until I ask you to stop."He nods and kicks the car into gear, pulling it into reverse. We started heading back to the same route we were coming from. A few minutes into the ride, the maddening pain starts to fade gradually, getting replaced by an unbearable intense pull that is almost pulling me out of the car."Killian, stop the car." I groan. The car halts instantly. I push outside, staggering towards the nearby woods; the exact direction of the unbearable pull. I don't have the time to tell Killian what

    ~Xyana~ Slowly, consciousness comes to me in painful waves. My body feels heavy like it’s been weighed down by thick rocks, and my mind is foggy, struggling to piece together the last thing I remember. My eyelids feel like they’re glued shut by an external force, causing me to force it open. The first thing I see is a high, vaulted ceiling made of dark wood. I try to sit up, but a sharp pain shoots through my ribs, forcing me back down. A gentle hand presses against my shoulder, and I turn to see a man with kind eyes and a stethoscope around his neck. A doctor, I presume. β€œYou have to take it easy,” he says softly. β€œYour body is still recovering." He places two fingers on my wrist to get my pulse reading. "What's your name?" "Xyana." I reply. "You're welcome to Gurreo-Valley pack, Xyana." He offers that comforting smile one can easily find amongst health workers in hospitals. "Do you recall how you got here?" He adds. Firstly, this man said that I'm at the Gurreo-Valley pack.

    ~Xyana~Two days later, I wake up feeling better than I did a couple of days ago. The memory of my first day here is still fresh in my mind.'Is any of this really happening or is this just the Moon goddess trying to play tricks on me?'Alpha Kedar denied me almost a week ago and now I have three men fighting over me. The only word to describe any of this is 'surreal.''You think you're special now?' Juno laughs at me, 'keep being stupid.'"Whatever did I do to you, Juno? I'm not the reason Alpha Kedar refused to acknowledge us. He just didn't want to."'He told you why.' Juno insists."He said I'm worthless, and I'm not!" I yell. "It's okay if he chooses Oksana as his real mate. But I'm not worthless, neither am I spineless."'But you're an Elephant, a Pig, fat...' "Don't say those words to me, please." I plead with my wolf.She snorts and starts sinking back inside, 'suit yourself, Pig.'I shut my eyes as the pain of her words hit me. She's waiting, watching, hoping that I'll count

    ~Gaston~It's stupid to leave my pack in pursuit of my brothers' mate. But a lot of things aren't adding up and I seriously wish to get to the root of everything as soon as possible. So Rhen, Clifton, and I left the pack in pursuit of the vision Rhen and I saw of Xyana. A vision I can feel its faintness within me, one that doesn't feel like Xyana was there anymore.But that is not something I think I should share with anyone just yet. Not until I'm certain of what exactly is happening. The vision Rhenat and I had pointed us to Xyana's location which was in the outskirts of Gurreo-Valley. I let Clifton drive us while typing out messages to one of my most trusted allies. Getting to my pack's border is a long journey of its own unless the individual shifts to their wolf form and runs the distance.Most times I wonder why werewolves stress themselves so much with cars and motorbikes when an average werewolf can run faster than both.I guess civilizat

    ~Xyana~The next morning or afternoon, 'I've lost track of time,' but the next time I wake, it is already bright. I'm greeted by an influx of maids who explain that they're here to literally help me settle in. 'Settle in, how?' Shouldn't the Alpha be talking about sending words to Gurreo-Valley? At least he knows the pack I come from. So why is he sending Maids to help me settle in?I don't miss the fact that my wounds are barely painful anymore and the one on my arm looks dried up. The doctor must have done a lot with all the Intravenous injections from yesterday.And that reminds me that the healer didn't come again. I try to feel Juno again, but still nothing. Now I'm extremely worried. But I'm not sure it's wise to bring up my worries with Alpha Zegulf. It's bad enough that my wounds aren't healing as they ought out considering the fact that I'm a werewolf.So complaining about my wolf will only make my savior question my existence. Firstly, t

    ~Clifton~Rhenat the witch got smuggled into the pack house by my brothers and me, while Gaston made sure to create enough distraction to keep the guards occupied.Rhen was the last witch to leave our pack after our parents' death. There was a great war between the vampires and the witches while we were still babies. The witches were killed and slaughtered. A few of them who managed to seek help from our pack were kept safe and hidden away until the war came to an end.Lots of them left after showing great gratitude to my parents by helping them around the pack. But Rhenat stayed back. She made friends with my mother while she was still hiding away, and she was the only witch amongst the others who found out what my mother was, and the fact that Gaston had gotten my mother's rare gift, as we chose to call it back then.However, things later went south after our parents' death. The battle of the supernatural is a never-ending one. Each day, various supe

    ~Zegulf~I made sure Xyana was properly covered before inviting the Witch and the Alpha's Cabal into my room.I'm certain she won't wake up until the Witch is done because of the sleeping spell that would be cast on her. Ezra, Roldolf, and Thaddeus are standing close to the door while Kadila, the Witch, sits on the floor, and I take a seat on the bed beside Xyana, my fingers entwined with hers as we wait to hear from Kadila.She takes her time to attend to Xyana's wounds first as I ordered, before starting on the other reasons she came. It takes a couple of minutes before she smiles. "Her Wolf is simply hiding away. She doesn't want to take part in any of this." Kadila tells us."Her wolf is a coward?" Ezra asks from his position close to the entrance."Shh," Roldolf scolds him. "Don't speak about the Moon-made like that. Her wolf must have a reason for hiding away."Thaddeus is about to join in their conversation when I lift my hand and s

    ~Xyana~"You're an Alpha?" I ask the Alpha as he steps into the car."Yes."His expression softens, and then he grabs my face and shifts closer like he's studying a particular spot on my face. "I'll help you clean up when we get home." He says simply, his gaze pinned on me."You mean your pack house?" I croak out."Yes." "I can clean up by myself."His mouth curves into a smile as he leans back onto the car seat. "You and I know that's not even possible. You're hurt, I'll help you. I'm only offering help. Nothing out of the ordinary." I dart my eyes around, determined to look at anyone but him. Settling my gaze on my hospital gown, I nod at him. "As long as you'll help with just my hands, face, and legs.""Oh, I'll help with everywhere." He tells me and I freeze, slipping him a curious glare as well. He laughs tenderly, "Just kidding." He says. "I'll take your cue, always."There is something about the way he stressed the last word that
